While there’s still an edge of comedy in this The Upside trailer, it looks like a bit of a
departure for Kevin Hart. He’s not as frantic and manic as he usually appears

Intouchables, with an American bent. Here’s the Intouchables trailer for comparison.

As mentioned above, The
Upside‘s release has had a bit of delay. The film premiered at the
2017 Toronto International Film Festival, and was supposed to hit theaters in
March of 2018. But the movie was originally a Weinstein Company film, and the
Harvey Weinstein scandal resulted in the film being pulled from release. This

the time since, STX Entertainment has partnered with the re-named
Weinstein Company, Lantern Entertainment, to release The Upside in 2019.

sucked into it without asking too many questions.
